Team Building Overview

Build around Hotori's burst rhythm

Hotori teams are not only about picking the highest ranked characters. Her value comes from setting up the right sequence, keeping useful teammate actions available, and avoiding awkward downtime. That means a comfortable Hotori team often feels better than a theoretical best team that is difficult to execute.

When evaluating a teammate, ask three questions: does this character help Hotori prepare her burst, does this character keep the team productive while Hotori is waiting, and does this character make the rotation easier or harder? If a teammate fails all three checks, they probably do not belong in your main Hotori team.

The examples below are written as flexible templates. Use the names as starting points, then adjust based on your account, available characters, weapon or Arc choices, and how comfortable the rotation feels in real combat.

Slot	What It Does	What to Look For
Hotori	Main burst engine or burst sub-DPS.	Enough uptime, correct build, and a rotation that does not waste her burst.
On-field damage	Keeps damage moving while Hotori prepares her next window.	Stable field time, simple rotation, and good synergy with team buffs.
Support / Redirect	Provides recorded actions, buffs, utility, or setup tools.	Fast actions, reliable timing, and useful effects during Hotori's burst.
Comfort slot	Improves survival, consistency, or quality of life.	Healing, shielding, control, safety, or smooth swaps.

Rotation Tips

Simple Hotori team rotation

A clean Hotori rotation starts by preparing the actions you want Hotori to use later. After that, you move through your teammates quickly, keep your damage window organized, and avoid pressing Hotori's biggest payoff before the team is ready.

Do not treat this as a fixed one-button combo. Hotori rotations can change based on your team, enemies, cooldowns, energy, and whether you are playing for safety or maximum damage. Learn the basic flow first, then optimize the exact timing after you understand what each teammate contributes.

If the rotation feels clunky, simplify the team. Removing one difficult setup piece can make your real damage higher because you will miss fewer windows and spend less time correcting mistakes.

Prepare HotoriMake sure Hotori has the resources and setup needed before you begin the burst sequence.

Use teammate actionsMove through support or redirect actions that you want Hotori to benefit from.

Enter burst windowBring Hotori in when your recorded actions, buffs, and damage opportunity line up.

Reset cleanlyAfter Hotori's window ends, return to your damage driver or comfort slot until the next setup.

Replacements

How to replace missing teammates

If you do not own a recommended unit, replace the role rather than the name. Hotori teams are easier to build when you understand what each slot is supposed to provide.

Missing a premium DPS?

Use your strongest built damage dealer as the field unit. The goal is to keep the team productive while Hotori waits for the next burst window. A slightly weaker character with better investment can outperform an unbuilt premium option.

DPS Slot

Missing a support?

Look for a teammate with fast actions, useful utility, or a buff that lines up with Hotori's timing. Avoid supports that force you into a rotation you cannot perform consistently.

Support Slot

Need more safety?

Add healing, shielding, control, or defensive utility. Damage matters, but a safe team can clear more reliably if it prevents resets, missed windows, and emergency swaps.

Comfort Slot

Common Mistakes

Why a Hotori team may feel weak

If Hotori feels weaker than expected, the issue may not be her build alone. Team timing, teammate actions, burst preparation, and downtime management can all affect how strong she feels in real fights.

Many players lose damage by using Hotori too early, recording actions that do not meaningfully support the burst, choosing teammates that compete for the same window, or leaving the team with nothing useful to do between Hotori's bursts.

Mistake	What Happens	Better Habit
Random team slots	The team has no clear plan for Hotori's setup or downtime.	Assign every teammate a job: damage, support, setup, or comfort.
Rushing burst	Hotori uses her window before key actions or buffs are ready.	Slow down and line up teammate actions before committing.
Too much setup	The rotation becomes hard to execute and easy to drop.	Use a simpler team if it gives more reliable clears.
No comfort slot	You lose runs to damage, crowd control, or emergency swaps.	Add sustain or defensive utility when learning difficult fights.
